Had We sent down this Qur’an upon a mountain, you would assuredly have seen it humbled, split asunder for fear of Allah. And We strike these similitudes for men that perchance they may reflect. He is Allah than Whom there is no other god; The Knower of the Unseen and the Visible; He is the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. He is Allah, than whom there is no other god; The Sovereign, the Holy One, The Source of Peace, The Guardian of Faith, The Preserver of Safety, The Exalted in Might, The Irresistible, the Supreme: Glory to Allah! (High is He) Above the partners they attribute to Him. He is Allah, the Creator, the Maker, the Shaper, To Him belong the Names Most Beautiful. Whatever is in the heavens and the earth magnifies Him; and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise. (59:2124)
